This annual exhibit brings together Chico's young, creative talent. Every year, our secondary school Art Teachers are tasked with selecting their student's most expressive and skillful artworks and preparing their work for exhibition. This is the only exhibit in our area to display the formative, 8 year span of our youth's creative development. Please join in celebrating creative minds at work in arts education.

Make & Take a Mini Sculpture!

Drop by our 1947 Pullman Train Car for a mini maker space experience. Create an action figure, totem, or family tree using upcycled materials. Gather wood, objects, fabric, images, junk, whatever you are drawn to. It is the process that is most important. Allow yourself to create whatever wants to come out. Artists from Chico Creative Reuse Mobile are here to help!
